Colin Kaepernick's tattoos to be featured in ESPN The Magazine

49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is going to be featured in ESPN The Magazine's the body issue showing off his tattooed physique.

The magazine hits newsstands July 12 and features several pictures of Kaepernick's numerous tattoos.

"Being selected by ESPN the Magazine for the body issue is an incredible honor. Thank you for believing in me, my 49ers family, and my INK!" Kaepernick said in a news release.

Kaepernick's body is covered with tattoos, each signifying something that he believes in, he said in an interview with the Bay Area News Group in the lead-up to the Super Bowl.

Kaepernick received his first tattoo while at the University of Nevada Reno. He hasn't stopped adding to his collection, including a mosaic that covers his back.

The 49ers signed undrafted fullback Jason Schepler to a three-year contract. Schepler, 23, played collegiately for Northern Illinois. He impressed the 49ers enough during a tryout basis at their three-day rookie mini camp last week to warrant a contract offer.
